We have a gap of almost 6 years (5 years 10 months) between #2 and #3.¬† It was a bigger gap than we would have planned for, but sometimes that's just the way it works!¬† My kids all get a long pretty well.¬† I am sometimes sad that my ods will be away to college when his little sister is only 8 and little brother is 10, but not much I can do about that!

8 years between #5 and #6. There was a lot of life changes between the 2. That is why I had 7 and 8. I didn't want him growing up without siblings to play with/ go to school with. I wouldn't know how to raise an only child which is what he would be in a few years.¬†

4 years 2 months between 4 and 5 but we did have a mc the prior year. The 4th is autistic so he doesn't so much play as play around but my 11 year old and his 2 year old brother are "best buds". I don't say that loosely Ian is always with his big brother when he is home Ans they are constantly rough housing or doing something together. Ben adored his little brother. Also the 5 and 2 year olds play well and the 5 yr old will tell you he loved being a big brother and can't wait on his new one to arrive. He gets upset every time I come home without his new baby haha!

We have 3 yrs 6 months between the twins and DD, and 3 years 9 months between DD and YDS.¬† My kids have their normal sibling battles, but generally get along well.¬† The big boys are 12 and are great with their 4 year old brother, and 8 year old DD plays with him a lot.¬†
